And many people ride motorcycles as well. I suppose there is always something which is large and safer. The price you pay is the cost of the vehicle and the cost of gasoline. I drove a MR2 Spyder for a few years. Was it small? Yes. Would it have been safe in a collision with a SUV? Probably not. Did it have a much better chance of avoiding most collisions than most cars? Yes -- it had much better reflexes than my X5 or any other car I have owned, including my NSX. And that is what my friend who drives a motorcycle tells me all the time -- better to avoid the accident alltogether than to be impressed with how well your car survives the collision.
